IT’S TIME TO The NM4’s adjustable backrest makes sure you’ll find
your perfect riding posture. Riding tandem? Just flip
down the backrest and you’re good to go.
The Honda CTX®700 Deluxe is the ultimate combination of innovation and performance. Plus, it
checks off all the items on a touring rider’s punch list: light weight, a low seat height, superior weather
protection, and plenty of easy-to-use power. Then there’s Honda’s radical NM4—a bike unlike anything
else on the road. Its 670cc fuel-injected engine is designed for a wide power spread. Integrated
saddlebags add versatility. And the styling? There’s nothing retro about this motorcycle! Both bikes
come equipped with Honda’s exclusive Automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission.

UNIQUE TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE
The Africa Twin’s parallel-twin engine layout
makes the bike shorter front-to-back. That means
the front wheel can tuck in closer to the engine,
shortening the wheelbase and making the bike
more nimble both off road and on the pavement.
DREAM IT.
AFRICA TWIN
RIDE IT.
For some people, a globe or a map isn’t some route-finding
device. It’s a menu. And that’s why we build the Africa Twin.®
Designed as a premium dual-sport adventure machine,
thousands of riders are discovering it’s also an excellent
touring bike, especially on “interesting” roads. And for 2018
we’re introducing a second model, the new Africa Twin
Adventure Sports, with a bigger fuel tank, bigger skid plate,
flatter seat, rear rack, and more suspension travel. Available
with standard six-speed transmission or Honda’s exclusive
automatic DCT.

INTEGRATED STORAGE COMPARTMENT
The NC750X offers a 22-liter utility compartment—
that’s big enough to hold most full-face helmets
and then some. Safe, secure and convenient, it’s
designed to make your bike even more rider-friendly
and practical.

We’ve given one of the most innovative bikes in our lineup a 75cc displacement boost this year:
Introducing the new NC750X.® On weekdays it’s an awesome commuter. On weekends it’s an able
explorer in the country and a devoted carver on twisty canyon roads. The new 745cc liquid-cooled
parallel-twin engine offers a generous helping of torque, and the seating position accommodates
whatever adventure you have in mind. Next, the CB®500X is one of our favorites. Why? Because
it does so much so well. You get plenty of performance, thanks to the torquey 471cc parallel-twin
DOHC engine. And the CB500X’s upright handlebar naturally accommodates a wide variety of riders.

ELECTRIC STARTING
The XR650L, CRF®250L and CRF250L Rally all feature
proven, effortless electric starting. On the street and
in the dirt, it’s a convenient asset that lets you get
going with a minimum of fuss.
VERSATILITY.
Honda’s dual-sport motorcycles have it all: solid dirt
credentials. Tough as nails. Rugged construction. But
most of all their versatile designs let you enjoy both dirt-
and street riding, while their maneuverability and fuel
efficiency make them an excellent option for commuters.
The XR650L is the choice of hard-core dual-sport riders,
while the CRF250L comes in two versions: The Rally adds a
windshield and bodywork for better weather protection.

TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINES
All of the Honda customs here feature twin-cylinder
engines. That’s no accident—many riders prefer the
power delivery of a twin, and their typically broad
torque spread, especially at low engine speeds.
They’re a great choice for many street riders.
CTX700N
YOUR INDEPENDENCE.
Motorcycles have always been about independence, freedom, and expressing yourself. That’s why
Honda’s line of custom bikes give you so many options. Our Shadow Phantom® and Shadow Aero® offer
the low seat heights, V-twin engines and the kind of easy-to-use power that make Honda cruisers such
a great choice. The Fury? Just one look will tell you this 1300 twin takes classic chopper styling to a whole
new level. And for something completely different, there’s our CTX700N Deluxe: Same relaxed riding
position and twin-cylinder engine power, but in a whole new package designed for today’s rider.

REBEL 300
YOUR REBELLIOUS
SIDE.
Tired of boring rides? Honda’s Rebels are just what the
doctor ordered. They’re two fresh takes on what a 2018
motorcycle should be. We tossed the book on traditional
styles, and started with a clean sheet of paper. The result?
Two bikes that are beyond fun to ride, have a practical side
as well, and that are just waiting for you to customize them.
The Rebel 500 features a bigger twin-cylinder engine; the
Rebel 300 is a little lighter. Either one is a great choice.

Every CBR1000RR SP comes with ABS, and it’s

PERFORMANCE.
CBR600RR
Sportbikes have always been special machines, offering levels of power, handling, and refinement no
other streetbikes can match. And this year we’re offering two of our best. The CBR®1000RR is a Superbike
where the rider comes first, where you get a degree of connection unlike anything in the class. Available
in standard and SP versions. Then there’s our CBR600RR: Light, nimble, and featuring a high-revving four-
cylinder engine, it’s proof that the 600 class is alive, well, and better than ever.

FISTFUL OF POWER
The new CB1000R is built around a superbike-strong
998cc DOHC inline-four engine that’s out on display
for everyone to see. It’s great for street riding, with
plenty of torque and power on tap. And since it’s a
four cylinder, it’s plenty smooth for longer rides too.

one of our best.
CBR650F
ATHLETIC.
To some riders, the whole appeal of motorcycling is doing
more with less. And that’s a philosophy these three bikes
take to heart. The all-new Honda CB1000R is the kind of
motorcycle that believes in rolling up its sleeves and getting
the job done. No excuses, hardly any bodywork, its chassis
and engine are out front and center for the whole world to
see. The CBR650F and CB650F are two riffs on the same
theme—one with more sporting bodywork and one with a
more upright seating position. All three are a great pick.

VALUE
The CBR500R and the CB500F both feature an
LED headlight that gives the front end a cutting-
edge look and also projects plenty of light on the
road for visibility.
MEETS
CLASSIC RIDING POSITION
You’ll appreciate the CB500F’s classic riding
position—you can sit up straighter, without supporting
your weight on your arms. It’s a great choice when
you’re riding around town or commuting, and you
can always tuck in tighter when you want to. Your
CB500F passenger may find it more comfortable, too.
Honda’s parallel twins have been legendary since our first 305s and the classic 350s of the 1970s. Twins
like those continue to make sense for a lot of reasons, and Honda still does them best. For 2018 we’re
lucky to have a couple of brilliant examples: the CBR500R is a little sportier, the CB500F a little more
relaxed. Both use the same great twin-cylinder engine and chassis. And both are sized right—you won’t
be outgrowing either in a year or two. Which one is right for you? Rest assured—you can’t make a bad
choice here.

SMALL BIKES.
HUGE FUN.
Honda’s CBR300R, CB300F and Grom are proof that fun
comes in all sizes. These bikes deliver a giant dose of it—way
out of proportion to their engine size. Their single-cylinder
engines provide a wide torque spread that performs well in
town or on the freeway, and offer excellent fuel efficiency.
Plus, because their engines are narrow, it’s easier to sit on
these bikes and get your feet on the ground at stops. The
Grom’s a cult favorite for lots of reasons—it probably offers
more fun per CC than anything out there. Plus, for 2018, you
can even get one with optional anti-lock brakes.

SHOWA SPRING FORK
The 49mm Showa® fork features a conventional
spring design that helps increase the CRF450R’s
front-suspension precision, handling and feel. And
this year we’ve revised the spring rate for better
bottoming resistance and improved handling.

2018 COMPETITION
ELECTRIC START
This was such a popular option last year that we’ve
made it standard for 2018. Electric starters and
lithium-iron-phosphate batteries are so light now
and so good that putting them on a bike like this
is a win/win combination. And winning is what a
CRF450R is all about.

This simple handlebar-mounted button lets you dial

your thumb. Choose between Standard, Smooth
and Aggressive, depending on track conditions.
CRF450RX
It doesn’t matter what sport you’re talking about: if you care enough to compete, you want to win. And
when we’re talking about motocross or off-road racing, your bike is a huge part of the winning equation.
That’s why we lavish so much attention on our CRF450R and CRF450RX—machines designed to help you
score the holeshot and stretch the lead from there. The CRF450R’s electric starter has proven so popular
we’ve ditched the kickstarter entirely to save weight, and given the bike a new, lighter lithium-iron-phosphate
battery too. The CRF450RX is a version that’s optimized for enduros, hare scrambles, and GNCC racing.

DOHC ENGINE LAYOUT
The 2018 CRF250R uses an all-new dual-overhead-
cam (DOHC) engine layout with a unique finger-
follower rocker design. Together with the rest of the
engine’s new architecture (bore and stroke, intake
tract, piston, and more), you get more power and a
higher redline.

ALL-NEW DUAL-EXHAUST SYSTEM
The CRF250R’s all-new dual-exhaust system is light,
compact, and positioned close and low in the frame
to take weight off the rear end and bring more mass to
the bike’s center for improved handling. It also allows
for more airflow, and that equals added horsepower.

Honda’s CRF150R is designed to give your young Red Rider the biggest advantage ever on the motocross
